Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spoked wheel of the type including a rim with a plurality of holes for a respective plurality of nipples, and an equal plurality of spokes secured to the rim by means of the nipples.
  • Wheels of the above-mentioned type are widely used on both pedal cycles and motorcycles. In the latter case in particular, a need has been felt to use pneumatic tires of the tubeless type, without an inner tube.
  • a first type of spoked wheel designed for cycle use with tubeless tires provides for the rim to have a double channel.
  • the first channel is formed between the rim and the tire and provides an airtight seal designed to form the inflation chamber of the tire.
  • the second channel, provided with holes, is used for fitting the spoke anchorage devices. Examples of this technical solution are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,474,746 and US 2003/0025383 A1.
  • This type of solution provides relatively unreliable sealing which is likely to be damaged if impacts occur.
  • the main problem addressed by the invention is to make available a spoked wheel structurally and functionally designed to be suitable for the fitting of tubeless tires with the high degree of reliability necessary for use on high-speed motorcycles.
  • a further purpose of the invention is to make available a spoked wheel structure capable of overcoming all the troublesome technical disadvantages noted with reference to the known technology.
  • a spoked wheel including a rim with a plurality of holes for a respective plurality of nipples, and an equal plurality of spokes secured to the rim by means of the nipples.
  • the nipples are arranged to be fitted so as to be substantially gastight by screwing into the respective holes in the rim for the purpose of fitting tubular tires to the rim.
  • the nipples and holes receiving them on the rim have a taper gas thread in the sections where they fit together.
  • FIG. 1 is a view in section of a portion of spoked wheel produced according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a view in section of a portion of spoked wheel in a variant of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 .
  • FIGS. 3 to 25 are views in section of portions of spoked wheels according to further variants of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the number 1 indicates as a whole a wheel including a rim 2 , a hub 3 and a plurality of spokes 4 secured at the respective and opposite ends respectively to the rim 2 and the hub 3 by means of nipples 5 and 6 respectively.
  • the rim 2 is of the single-channel type, that is with the nipples 5 facing directly into the inflation chamber of the tire.
  • the spokes 4 in the first example comprise a stem 8 preferably produced from light alloy, for example aluminium alloy, having at its respective opposite longitudinal ends threaded blind holes 7 a, b . Screwed into the blind hole 7 a facing towards the hub 3 is a threaded end 9 of a stud 10 the opposite threaded end 11 of which is fitted into the threaded hole 12 in the nipple 6 providing the attachment to the hub 3 .
  • a driving key feature 16 is made in the head and is used to screw the nipple into the hole 7 b .
  • This driving key feature may be produced in various forms, for example a polygon, a hexagonal recess, a slot for a screwdriver or other provision.
  • the nipple 5 has a threaded portion 20 on the shank 13 , having a taper gas thread.
  • the hole 21 in the rim 2 into which the nipple 5 is fitted has a taper gas thread so as to engage with the taper gas thread of the nipple forming a fluid-tight seal.
  • Sealing may be further improved using adhesives, sealants and the like.
  • conventional parallel threads may be used or sealing components fitted between the head of the nipple and the rim.
  • FIG. 2 differing from the preceding example in that the nipple 5 securing the spoke to the rim has a blind threaded hole 27 into which is fitted a threaded end 28 of the stem 29 of the spoke.
  • the spoke has the same threaded end fitted into the hole 12 in the nipple 6 .
  • the shank of the nipple 5 is threaded externally with a taper gas thread and the same thread is made in the hole made in the rim 2 to house the nipple.
  • taper gas threads Although the solution using taper gas threads is indicated as preferred, it should be understood that these threads may also be of different pitch and profile, with or without taper.
  • the nipple 5 with a shank 13 provided with either a parallel or taper external thread has internally a threaded blind hole 27 into which is screwed a threaded end of a stud 30 the opposite end of which, also threaded, is screwed into a corresponding blind hole 7 b in the spoke 4 .
  • the spoke and nipple have facing surfaces 31 a and 31 b , respectively which can be butted together so that by means of the stud 30 the spoke and nipple are attached to each other to form a single unit. Provision is also made, by way of a variant, for the spoke and nipple to be produced in one piece.
  • FIG. 4 A variant of this example is illustrated in FIG. 4 .
  • a groove 32 is made in the shank 13 of the nipple 5 , and this houses an O-ring 33 (OR) which is fitted in the threaded wall of the hole 21 in the rim 2 , forming a seal.
  • O-ring 33 OR
  • FIG. 5 Another preferred example of embodiment of the invention is described with reference to FIG. 5 .
  • the O-ring 33 is fitted between the shoulder 15 and an annular seating 34 preferably with a cylindrical wall, made at the mouth of the hole 21 .
  • the groove 32 is made close to the shoulder 15 and fluid-tightness is achieved with the cylindrical wall 35 of the seating 34 .
  • the nipple 5 is locked axially in the hole 21 in both directions.
  • FIGS. 6 to 9 Two other examples are described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9 . These examples differ in that they allow spokes with a light alloy stem to be used rather than spokes with a steel stem; in the latter case, the invention allows entirely conventional spokes to be used.
  • a nipple is used similar to that described with reference to the example in FIG. 5 which, instead of being fitted into the hole 21 in the rim 2 by being screwed in, is fitted into it so as to be able to rotate freely and is locked axially and bidirectionally by means of a nut 36 screwed onto the threaded section of shank 13 projecting from the rim 2 through the hole 21 .
  • Axial bidirectional locking is obtained here between the shoulder 15 and the nut 36 .
  • the O-ring 33 as in the case of the previous example is subjected to a limited axial load and is fitted to form a seal with the cylindrical wall 35 of the seating 34 .
  • nipples 5 are screwed into the respective holes in the rim 2 housing them and are tightened by means of the driving key feature 16 . Then the spokes are fitted by screwing them to the respective nipples. The free end of the spokes is then secured with appropriate adjustment to the hub by means of the nipples 6 .
  • FIG. 10 Another variant embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 10 .
  • This variant takes account of the problems deriving from the fact that in assembling the wheel, if the holes receiving the nipples in the rim are not perfectly aligned with the corresponding holes in the hub (and there never is perfect alignment) the stem of the spoke is subject to bending stresses to compensate for this misalignment. This bending generates uneven stresses creating overloading particularly in the outermost parts, furthest from the axle, in the cross-section of the spoke.
  • a pivot 201 is produced by providing a partially spherical swivel head 202 at the end of the stud 210 which is fitted into a rounded seating 211 in an axial cavity 212 of the nipple 205 .
  • the partially spherical swivel head can also be made directly on the stem of the spoke where the spokes are of steel or materials of corresponding strength ( FIG. 12 ).
  • the partially spherical swivel head may also have a marked curvature which allows the hole 21 in the rim receiving the nipple 205 to be made with an axis radial to the rim, leaving the offset to be taken up entirely by the spherical swivel 202 .
  • the joint between the spherical swivel 202 and the stem of the spoke may be obtained by means of a head 213 on the stud 210 ( FIG. 13 ), by a threaded joint 214 ( FIG. 14 ) or, in a similar manner, directly by the stem of the spoke ( FIGS. 15 and 16 ).
  • the nipple 305 With reference to FIGS. 17 to 22 provision is also made for the nipple 305 to have a seating 306 open towards the channel in the rim 2 with closure provided by means of a cover 307 fitted by pressing onto the nipple 305 or using a threaded joint.
  • the nipple 405 illustrated in FIGS. 21 and 22 , provision is made for the nipple 405 to be inserted into the hole 421 in the rim and locked bidirectionally in it by upsetting 422 or other mechanical securing operation.
  • the spoke 4 has one end, housed in a nipple 500 , in the form of a flared head 501 held so as to allow slight axial movement in a chamber 502 of the nipple 500 by means of a sleeve 503 which is screwed into a blind axial hole in the nipple 500 .
  • the sleeve 503 is locked by a shoulder 504 abutting against the end of the nipple facing towards the wheel hub.
  • the nipple 500 is in turn screwed into the hole 505 in the rim and locked axially relative to it so as to be airtight with a seal 506 fitted between them.
  • the example in FIG. 24 has a nipple shown as 600 . It is substantially similar to the previous one and therefore has identical reference numbers to indicate identical parts. It differs from the previous example in that the nipple 600 can be opened at the end facing the spoke 4 , where it has a removable airtight closure formed by a screw cover with a seal 602 inserted. The sleeve 503 is omitted.
  • the nipple in the example in FIG. 25 is shown as 700 . It is substantially similar to the previous one and therefore has identical reference numbers to indicate identical parts. It differs from the example in FIG. 24 in that the spoke 4 terminates in a threaded length 701 onto which is screwed a conventional nipple of the type with a cylindrical shank 702 widened into a flared portion 703 and locked by pouring in thread locking resin 704 .
  • the invention thus achieves the proposed purpose and secures numerous advantages compared with the known technology.
  • it allows the production of lightweight wheels, with reduced rotating mass, safe both in use at high speed and in case of accidental impacts.
